More quotes by William Shakespeare
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottage princes' palaces.
William Shakespeare
A little fire is quickly trodden out, Which, being suffer'd, rivers cannot quench.
William Shakespeare
For you and I are past our dancing days.
William Shakespeare
I'll privily away I love the people, But do not like to stage me to their eyes Though it do well, I do not relish well Their loud applause and aves vehement, Nor do I think the man of safe discretion That does not affect it.
William Shakespeare
O, this life Is nobler than attending for a check, Richer than doing nothing for a robe, Prouder than rustling in unpaid-for silk: Such pain the cap of him that makes him fine Yet keeps his book uncrossed.
William Shakespeare
This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators, save only he,Did that they did in envy of CaesarHe only, in a general honest thoughtAnd common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elementsSo mixd in him that Nature might stand upAnd say to all the world, This was a man!
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
A hand as fruitful as the land that feeds us His dew falls everywhere.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat.
William Shakespeare
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view, Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof! *It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.*
William Shakespeare
The eagle suffers little birds to sing.
William Shakespeare
Ten masts make not the altitude Which thou hast perpendicularly fell. Thy life's a miracle.
William Shakespeare
Cowards die many times a brave man dies but once.
William Shakespeare
I may neither choose who I would, nor refuse who I dislike so is the will of a living daughter curbed by the will of a dead father.
William Shakespeare
As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark...so many a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose.
William Shakespeare
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.
William Shakespeare
For this relief much thanks. 'Tis bitter cold, and I am sick at heart.
William Shakespeare
There's such divinity doth hedge a king That treason can but peep to what it would.
William Shakespeare
